"Together we'll make X great again!"
Context: X11Libre is a fork of X11 aiming at preserving the X Server (fair enough, right?). One of the creators got permanently banned from freedesktop.org for apparently violating the Code of Conduct (no info on that, they just blame Red Hat), see themselves as hunted by both Big Tech and "toxic elements" who "took over the X11 project" They want to "make X great again".
The issue about their highly political README (which they wrote due to the original project "becoming too political", lol) also contains the usual red flags like transphobia. https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver/issues/40
You're viewing a single thread.
Found more context, for who is now curious:
- Apparently threatening violence with guns is okay (just got marked as "off-topic").
- The maintainer of X11Libre, Enrico Weigelt, is an anti-vaxer who already got scolded by Torvalds for writing bullshit on the kernel mailing list
The more I read into X11Libre, the more I'm laughing. Now the freedesktop ban also makes perfect sense.
The maintainer of X11Libre, Enrico Weigelt, is an anti-vaxer who already got scolded by Torvalds for writing bullshit on the kernel mailing list
Oh, so it's him. Dude got absolutely lucky Linus is on mild mode nowadays. On his prime the scold would've been of such epic proportions all the viruses he could have on his body would've leave him out of pure cringe.
Linus has good values, by he's also a toxic asshole that surrounded himself with other toxic assholes. And that's why both immoral people and nice people eventually get shown the door / leave the Linux project.
He's gotten a lot better
Eh... Too little, too late.
Honestly, I'm fully on board of this development. It might be useful for those distros that can't move to Wayland and, more importantly, can keep the developers far from everything else.
Lol, how will they get any contributions if they explicitly say that trans girls are not welcome? You know who run the internet?
The project will either die through lack of interest or over-availability of cringe. There's no way for it to succeed with this MAGA nonsense and threats plastered all over it, they'd have a hard time finding enough devs even without alienating everyone except Fox News viewers. Meanwhile they'll feel confirmed in their worldview due to all the rightful criticism flooding in.
If the project survives this initial phase of antipathy we'll probably get years of cringe from it.
I don't think they will get contributions. But they will not bother the rest for a bit
Furries?
Actually... X11 is still maintained and there are forks of X11 like Xenocara from OpenBSD.
YOOOOOO!!! IT'S THE SAME FUCKING GUY. I remember that legendary Torvalds roast. Good shit.
At least his aim is shit… lol (talking about this GermaA.. dude)
